I read the Bible and began to meditate upon God's Word. The Holy Spirit began to reveal God's love for me, a lost sinner. I received Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord in June of 1972. Immediately, my life changed- from the inside out! I suddenly had a great desire to live for God and for His Word.

During the next two years I attended two different Bible Institutes and Leadership Training programs. I began my ministry in 1980 when I established an independent church. I was ordained by the Mennonite Church in 1982 when my church joined in with their missionary work in Haiti. In 1985 I received the Baptism in the Holy Ghost and served as a Mennonite Pastor until 1990.

As an apostle, God has allowed me to plant 24 churches and help many other pastors in their ministries. Since 1990, the Lord has equipped me with an Apostolic and Prophetic Anointing that has resulted in my traveling throughout the island of Haiti, planting twenty different churches, training and overseeing their ministers.

My involvement in the Charismatic Renewal Movement allows for a more progressive style of Praise and Worship, more Body Ministry , and the adoption of various doctrinal emphases, which have emerged during the past thirty years of Renewal. However, we are not typical of many Charismatic churches due to our Anabaptist values and our standards of Holiness.

My desire is to keep ministry simple by placing emphasis on Worship, God's Word, Prayer, Evangelism, Discipleship, and Leadership Training. I pray that the Lord will use me to be a blessing to the Body of Christ assisting the local churches in their development as, I believe the Church is God's chosen institution for the establishment of His Kingdom on the earth.
